One month in Australia :)

Since being away, I haven't blogged quite as much as I would have liked to.
However, I have a pretty good excuse; I've been too busy having fun to spend time typing away on a keyboard!
Now seems an opportune moment as we have a couple of hours to kill until we have to board the greyhound bus to our next destination, Hervey Bay.

After 5 days in Surfers, we travelled a couple of hours further up the coast to Maroochydore. The first few days here saw us trapped indoors due to extreme heavy rain which got quite scary. Unfortunately we're not massive fans of our hostel, nor the people staying here who keep the rest of us awake until the crack of dawn with their drunken antics and loud voices, so being stuck indoors wasn't much fun!

So as soon as the rain stopped, we road-tripped it to the Australia Zoo which was a fantastic day out! As well as getting to see all the animals, we fed elephants, stroked and fed kangaroos and patted koalas! I've never been much of an animal person, but I completely fell in love with the animals there. Well, maybe not the snakes, lizards and crocodiles, but all the rest were great!!

Today we are headed a further 5 hours up the coast to Hervey Bay, and from there we'll go to Airlie Beach where I'll be celebrating my birthday!

I'm still ever so in love with this country, and my life plan at the moment is to save up as much money as quickly as possible when I get home, and then return out here with a one year working visa. This is a plan that I really want to stick too!

So that was a quick update on my part. Again I am writing this on my iPod so it's not the longest of posts - I will get around to writing an essay soon!!
